Sorry. I meant digital. I currently subscribe to physical, but I am thinking about switching to digital. I was wondering if I could then drop my physical subscription, but it sounds like I probably shouldn't drop it. Thanks.

RichC2

Yeah if you want new movies as well as a huge back catalog, you need both.

Netflix' DVD subscription is much more comprehensive than its streaming service. Just because a title is released to DVD doesn't mean it will show up on Netflix streaming. Not by a long shot. If you want access to just about everything, you will have to keep the DVD subscription. Only a fraction of titles released on DVD becomes available on streaming.

Cool thanks. Why do people act like physical media is about to die then if Netflix's streaming options are so few compared to their physical options?

Also, as long as a title is available on disc, that disc will probably be available for rental, and probably long after that, until Netflix runs out of usable copies.

Titles tend to come and go on streaming, as contacts expire.

Because you can rent streaming versions or buy digital copies of new movies on Amazon, Vudu, iTunes, and many others. You can buy many of them a couple of weeks before the blu-ray/DVD go on sale. Too pricey for me. I still have my blu-ray by mail subscription.

Because a lot of people don't care and just surf around looking for something to watch. It's the lazy-channel-surfing of the modern generation. I mean, chances are you can find something you wanted to watch at some point in your life. It's just not good if you have a specific title in mind.

Yes, there are many ways to get your titles digitally depending on how badly you want them. I also use the BD-by-mail, though some people call me a dinosaur for it. I've never purchased or rented a new release on iTunes or Amazon or Comcast, though I have gotten some via Xbox credits.

So in various countries, Better Call Saul and Fargo are Netflix original shows. They're literally the best channel on TV

GatorDeb

Can't wait til June 12th!! Fiancee will be out of town and I have some lbs to lose for the wedding. That's 1-2 lbs lost on season 3 alone on the indoor bike

My preschooler had a meltdown yesterday morning when I had to break the news that Scooby-Doo was removed from the catalog.

Damn you, Netflix!

RichC2

April Fools pranks are always hardest when they aren't pranks

printerati

Mine just learned to ask for "Amazon" when the Aardman stuff was dropped from Netflix and added to Prime Streaming.

Supermallet

Netflix just announced they've picked up a new sketch comedy show from Bob Odenkirk and David Cross.

funkyryno

I passed on that news to my son. He still wants his Scooby-Doo back.

But I think this news is awesome. Maybe Odenkirk will finally be able to move his office out of that nail salon.

hanshotfirst1138

Yeah, and I still want the DCAU back. But hey, Netflix has to cater to more people than your son and me .

dolphinboy

I'm surprised there isn't a lot of discussion about the X-Files now streaming seasons 1 and 2 in HD!!!! With other seasons to follow.

While it's not a BD release, it's certainly the next best thing and watching the Pilot and Deep Throat last night was truly a surreal experience. I would never have imagined EVER getting to see these show again like this. It's like a brand new experience this time around.

I was happy when we got all the Gilmore Girls seasons in HD, but this is really a big, big deal for me. The X-Files is basically tied with Buffy as my two favorite shows of all time. Maybe Buffy will be next.

islandclaws

I may have missed an announcement, but did Netflix drop 5.1 support for Roku? I can't seem to be find it as an option anymore, but it was definitely there before. Pretty annoying.

RichC2

Nope. Skimmed it on my Roku 3, most everything had a Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 track on it. Tested it and they work as advertised.

Rypro 525

if you have a soundbar, 5.1 doesn't work/register for netflix. if you have a regular sound set up, go to settings and audio

islandclaws

Thanks, guys, I'll take a look. Maybe some setting got changed.

tbryson880

Watching Netflix now. Recommend me some good films to watch over the summer break.

bluetoast

Fruitvale Station got added recently, check that out.

Mondo Kane

Prison Girls (1972)

TomOpus

Zombeavers. Hey, you didn't give any indication of what type of movies you like.

I know it's a series but Daredevil was very enjoyable.

mndtrp

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
